Sunshine - Only $95 adoption!!'s Story...

We just rescued this sweetheart from the euthanasia list. A full adoption profile will be posted in the future as we get to know this pet if it is not adopted beforehand.

PLEASE NOTE: All of the pets at Safe Haven receive basic training when they come to us. Adopters will be given a list of words that your new pet knows at the time of adoption. What each pet learns depends on how much time I have had to work with them, & if that pet has any additional issues that need to be focused on first.

Additional notes: - This pet is recovering from spay/neuter surgery- Fearful, needs to be worked with.

Age/Birthday: 7 months

Weight at last Vet visit: 4 lbs (We estimate this pet will grow to be 10 lbs)

Adoption fee is only $95 & includes:- Initial Vet check- Spay/Neuter surgery- Up to date on Vaccinations - Voucher for a future Free office visit to the Vet- 50% off any Optimum Wellness Plan- 30 days of free pet insurance (in case something comes up after adoption)- Harness *- Other surprise goodies from Safe Haven- Other coupons from Partners- Available Paperwork: Spay/Neuter records, Vaccination records, Vet records, Micro records, Recommendation list, etc...- Continued Support: Safe Haven will be there for the lifetime of your new adopted pet. If you ever have questions or concerns, we will always be there to help. Our goal is for you & your pet to live happily ever after! If you are interested in adopting this pet, please fill out an application http://www.adoptapet.com/Safe-Haven/adoption-application/

After we receive your application, we will contact you so you can meet him/her. ADOPTING A CAT OR DOG IS UP TO A 20 YEAR COMMITMENT! THEY ARE NOT OBJECTS THAT YOU CAN GET RID OF WHEN THEY BECOME INCONVENIENT. THEY ARE INNOCENT LIVING, BREATHING ANIMALS WITH FEELINGS THAT DEPEND ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF, LOVE, & PAY FOR EVERYTHING THIS PET NEEDS FOR UP TO 20 YEARS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN APPLICATION.

* Safe Haven STRONGLY believes that collars should only be used to hold their ID or as decoration. A dog can slip out of collar. Which becomes a problem if your dog gets lost, or you are trying to restrain your dog, & it comes off. Also, attaching a leash to a collar puts pressure on the neck, which is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, & could hurt them. For these reasons, Safe Haven includes a harness with every dog adoption to ensure the safety of the dog, as a harness is more expensive than a collar & some adopters will not buy them for this reason. A harness distributes the weight on the chest & shoulders. It also has a handle on the back that you can grab if need be, without hurting your pet (EX: Dog falls off your boat, just grab the handle & pull your pet back in with no harm done. With a collar, you would have to strangle your dog when pulling your dog in). Also a dog cannot slip out of a harness if it is fitted correctly, so it is much easier to restrain them & they will never loose their ID if they get lost.

FAQ: Q: Is this pet still available?A: Updates are posted in the original post on the Facebook page for Safe Haven Animal Rescue of AZ at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1405138936478168/ . It will say the status in all caps at the very top of the pets post. Once on the Facebook page, type the pets name in the search box in the upper right corner to easily pull up all the posts on that pet.

Q: I don't see a phone #. Will someone please call me?A: Everything needed is online. I have found that online is the most efficient way to get all the work done. In the past, when I posted my #, my phone rang off the hook all day. So I spent the whole day on the phone, with not much work to show for it at the end of the day. Again, everything needed is online.

Q: How do I adopt this pet?A: Your first step is to fill out an application. http://www.adoptapet.com/Safe-Haven/adoption-application/

Q: Can I adopt if I live out of state?A: Out of state adoptions are welcome. Additional fee applies. Fees start at $195 for transport + the adoption fee. All transported pets come with a collar with ID attached, harness, and leash. Plus all the other things listed above that regularly come with adoptions. If it is a long trip, they may come with a carrier with padding, health certificate, bowls, and of course food for the trip. It just depends on the pet, and the mode of transportation.

Q: Where is this pet? A: This pet is being fostered in a private home.

About Our Rescue Group...

Safe Haven Animal Rescue of AZ is a small no-kill animal rescue. Safe Haven's main focus is to save dogs & cats from certain death by taking pets off the euthanasia list at kill shelters. We do not take in owner surrenders.

With the exception of adopting straight off the euthanasia list through the new "E-list Adoption Program", we stop taking in (fostering) new pets around May, work on getting the remaining pets that are here adopted, take a much needed summer break, then start taking in new pets again in the Fall.

Safe Haven is run by volunteers who work in their free time, outside of their regular jobs, in order to help these innocent animals. Please be respectful of that.

Safe Haven also plans to work to get the laws changed in AZ to stop cruelty, & also educate the public so that overpopulation is never again a reason that an animal is killed.

Safe Haven was started because Maricopa County has the second highest kill rate in the whole country for killing sweet, loving, adoptable pets for no other reason than pet overpopulation. With rates increasing as the economy drops. We could no longer stand by & watch!

Safe Haven is working on several new programs. So our animal intake is minimal right now. Please bear with us!

Goals for this year:

- Apply for a name change. We are getting confused with other rescues who also have "Safe Haven" in their names. A name change will also allow us to expand & set up childrens' programs.

- We are currently working to fix up a new property, where we will be able to expand & take in more pets.

- Expand our volunteer programs.

- Set up an ongoing yard sale to raise money to help pay all the bills!

- There will also be 2 new food programs for:

1: Free pet food for low income families who are struggling to feed their pets. (This will also include farm animals...)

2: Free regular food for low income families who are struggling to feed their children.

Our Adoption Process...

You'll notice our adoptions fees are much lower than other rescues. Adoption fees are posted in the Title & also in the body of the pets adoption profile. Lower adoption fees are only because our main concern is finding a good home, & not recouping all the costs we have incurred to save that pet. The more homes we find, the more we can save!

To adopt, just send an e-mail to Safe_Haven_Animal_Rescue@live.com and ask for an application or Click here to fill out our online Adoption Application. Once we receive the completed application, a Safe Haven representative will contact you to set up a meeting so you can meet the pet you are interested in.
